Open Source maps projects
Build with the Bing Maps community
Bing Maps is an open source, collaborative experience that greatly benefits our open source mapping software to enhance the overall experience of discovering new sights and experiences. Explore and contribute to the open source maps and source code for many of the Bing Maps platforms’ APIs and SDKs alongside other developers on GitHub.
Build with us
The Bing Maps team has embraced open source, making the source code for many mapping APIs and SDKs available for the developer community to utilize and contribute to via GitHub. Whether you’re seeking to better understand open source maps, open source mapping software, or want to explore how geocoding using open source software functions, Bing Maps AI makes it easy to build feature-driven experiences and contribute to ongoing innovation in maps development.
Missing Maps Give Campaign
When a natural disaster, epidemic, poverty, or another crisis impacts a region, limited map exposure makes it difficult for first responders to provide prompt aid and relief, as they lack critical location information. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to affect them as greatly as moving forward with your support and innovation.
Missing Maps is a collaborative, open source maps project for developers to work together to help map areas where humanitarian organizations are trying to meet the needs of a vulnerable population. While geocoding open source projects can serve a wide variety of business purposes, they can make a major difference in the lives of communities who would otherwise be off the grid.

Building Footprints
Open source maps projects require transparency to give developers and volunteers dynamic tools for making a real-world impact. In an effort to increase the coverage available for OpenStreetMap and humanitarian efforts, the Bing Maps team has released millions of building footprints as open data that anyone can download free of charge.
